with a syndicate of underwriters led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. and including
BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., Jennings Capital Inc., Haywood Securities Inc. and
Scotia Capital Inc. (the "Underwriters") to sell 8,000,000 common shares (the
"Common Shares") at a price of C$12.50 per Common Share and 666,700
flow-through shares (the "FT Shares", and together with the Common Shares, the
"Underwritten Shares") of the Company at a price of C$15.00 per FT Share for
aggregate gross proceeds of C$110,000,500.
LIM has also granted the Underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase up
to that number of additional common shares (the "Over-Allotment Common Shares",
